“The Courage to be Disliked” book was a game changer for me personally.

Damn I had no idea I was so brave! Not that I'm unafraid to be myself, everyone just hates me.

I say everyone but I exaggerate. Most people have no idea who I am. And even then of those that do, only most of them hate me.

Oh most people who see a rock that got beaten up by me like it. Except some other artists cause there's a lot of insecurity in the art world.

I just manage to piss people off by being socially incompetent. Making good arts only gets you so far.

If you have Amazon Prime you can grab this for free, on the Kindle store.

Well worth a read. Might do this again today, thank you.

It's free for audiobook. With Amazon prime, the kindle version is $14.

It's a part of Prime Reading, in the UK and maybe other places, which is a large selection of ebooks available free to read for Prime members (this is separate to Kindle Unlimited, which the book is also on).

Edited to note it's free in UK.

Odd... I have prime and that book is not free for me.

You know I only just found out that Prime Reading may be a UK Amazon thing. Sorry about that.

Ah that explains it! The books available under that service differ based on location. I'm in the US.

Thank you, I've learned something new! Including not jumping to a conclusion, I should hone in my skills of Google Fu a bit more :)

I assumed we were both in the US and was scouring prime reading to see if there was some hidden version of the book. We're both off point today!

Hahah! That's exactly what I was doing, but for the UK! 😂

I saw you crossed out your previous comment, your comment is still valid for the UK and possibly other places.
